lied to him and claimed that Ross refused to ask her to marry him, leading Rachel to eventually clarify the situation for him. However, he is still angry at her and believes love to be insignificant in a marriage. He has a heart attack in "The One Where Joey Speaks French" and is recovering in the hospital when Rachel arrives with Ross, who he once again treated with contempt.
